Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) appears on 'Hannity' on Sept. 3, 2015. [Fox News]
It has become an annual tradition: Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., will spend a healthy chunk of each Dec. 23 airing his grievances on Twitter.
No, he isn't being a Grinch when he does this. Quite to the contrary, he is celebrating Festivus, a parody holiday popularized in the 1997 "Seinfeld" episode "The Strike." One of the traditions of this pseudo-holiday — which has become all too real — is that individuals will publicly air their grievances, a ritual that Paul has taken to Twitter with a regularity that would put Frank Costanza to shame.
Below are the grievances that Paul saw fit to share with the Twitter-verse for Festivus 2018.
